A 36-year-old woman, diagnosed with fetal myelomeningocele (mmc), visited outpatient clinic at 24 weeks and 0 days’ gestation. She said that everyone told me to give up the baby.
Chiari II malformation was suspected on ultrasonography and fetal MRI. However, sac size was small and fetal leg movements were active. A multidisciplinary counselling was performed. Although mmc of the fetus had been progressed slowly after 30 weeks’ gestation and mother received cesarean section at 35 weeks’gestation due to preterm labor, the neonate received immediate postnatal operation for mmc.
The condition of the baby has been tolerable without additional treatment, until 45 days after birth.
